Angelina
"Joy" Emanuele
is a professional dancer, choreographer, songwriter, singer, actress,
entertainer, producer and entrepreneur, who has studied, performed
and taught all around the world. A versatile and multi  talented
artist who finds great joy in teaching others to dream to. This little
girl originally from Adelaide,Australia became an
International Gypsy Girl with a very Big Dream at a very young age.

From the beginning.......

Miss Joy was even the leader and
"go getter" then as a litle one.......

The oldest of
five children who were all blessed with a wonderful upbringing filled
with opportunity and support. She attendedScotch
Collegefor 11 years while studying ballet, jazz and gymnastics
with some of Australia's greatest teachers such as; Rex
Reid AM, Helen Beinke, Kay Cranwell, Luccette Aldous, Anne Tannenbring,
Denise Fisher, William Carse, Tom Farlie, Miss Wellington &
many others.
She truly believes if kids had one tenth of what she had growing up
many kids would not be making many of the bad choices that they are
these days. "The Joy House" she grew up in is definitely
the catalyst and her inspiration for The Joy House she is now producing
for all kids.

At 15 she began
dancing professionally in a ballet company called The Adelaide Dance
Company and danced at venues such as The Sydney Entertainment Center,
Victorian Arts Center Ballet, Festival Theater plus touring all over
Australia. At 16 she was studying and performing in Europe at The
Princess Grace Ballet School in Monte Carlo and at 17 at The Center
of the Performing Arts. At 18 she auditioned and was accepted as a
cast member in Andrew Lloyd Webber's CATS,
(which opened her eyes and made her see there was a world beyond just
classical dance) and at 19 she was producing and directing her own
dance company and choreographing for major corporate companies, television
shows and commercials in Australia.

She
was always involved in competitons and as a result she won Best Newcomer
Photographic in Australia in 1987. At 12 she won the "5AD Radio
Station's Xanadu Dance Competition" in her home town and at 14
"ABC's Polygram Countdown Flashdance Competition 1983".
It was also there she met Malcom McLaren
(Sex Pistols) who said. "Angelina you were terrific! Keep jumping.
Im sure youll make it!" Just one of the many people
during her childhood that have inspired her to dream big.

In 1990 she decided she wanted to utilize
her talents on a world wide scale, and knowing that it was music that
had always been what motivated her to dance, she began writing, performing
and recording her own music. With her first demo (consisting of songs
produced by Chez Haynes, Yuri Worantschak and
Mike Duffy formerly engineer from PWL Stock, Atkin and Waterman)
and a music video "Burning up my love" which she produced.
With video and demo in hand she said goodbye to a very promising career
in Australia and flew to London where she lived from May 1990 to May
1991. There she discovered writing was the key and her ticket to the
big time. See Music

1991 She met
Geoff Beauchamp (formerly the guitarist
of Patsy Kinsets 8th Wonder) who produced her second
batch of songs, (many of the hundreds of songs written that year she
is now re - recording for THE JOY HOUSE). She also had meetings with
EMI, Virgin, Warner Brothers and Atlantic.
All, who showed interest but all had something to say..."Its
too Madonna, too Paula Abdul, too this, too that...." But it
was Michael Rosenblatt at Warner Brothers
that said that her songs were really strong and that she should be
in the States. So with her drive, killer determination and "the
big picture" in her mind she packed her bags again and flew to
New York (not knowing a soul). After two weeks she decided to check
out Los Angeles. (Even though many advised her to stay in the Big
Apple). SeeMusic

In 1992 -
1994 she had some of LAs top musicians playing with her
(James Bradley Junior, Joe Simon, Marcello
Consenza, Keith Barrows etc) and she performed
at The Palace for Vital Options,
The Palladium and NelsonMandelas Multi Cultural Event, plus
many local clubs.

1993
 1996 still all the while concentrating on her
music career, she also got back into her dancing and performed
with the Los Angeles based Sinay Ballet,
performed at The Greek Theater for Bijan
Mortazavi, choreographed music videos, worked as a dance
stylist and make-up artist for photographers and as an actress
. She was featured in Warner Bros.
"The Monroes", "Seinfeld" and the independent
films "Dreamhouse",
"Arizona Werewolf" directed by Tony Zarindast
and "Causendefect"
directed by David Wee Wee.

In 1997,
her song "Follow your heart" produced by Boris Midney was
aired on GROOVE 103.1 Radio (Poormans Morning Show) and listeners
loved it. Her song "SLAM"" which she
co-wrote with Brian Adler was placed in NBCs TV movie "The
Secret". As a result from a review in Music Connection
in 1998 she also was asked to write for Mastersource TV/ Film licensing
and as a result her song "Kick Inside" was
placed in Warner Brothers "Sabrina the Teenage Witch."
and the TV Show "All my children" and "Let's get to it"
was used for Nintendo

In 1998 she was invited to judge "Miss
Teen L.A." and "Miss Fitness America" and she presented
Best Pop Band for the Rock City Music Awards. She also was the head
of dance at The Sho Kosugi Institute in Los Angeles.

The road has
been at times difficult, colorful but real fun. She has always been
resourceful and fortunate enough to find ways to survive by doing
what she loves. It has been by truly following her heart and believing
in her "big picture" that she has always discovered ways
of promoting her art, talent and gift of communicating through her
love of dance and music. She has finally discovered her niche and
market. The 3  12 year olds of the world. (To think 10 years
ago when she started her musical journey they werent even born).
See References and Remarks.

It was
because of the positive response from audiences from her shows, (the
way she could motivate a crowd, get people up dancing and make everyone
feel good) that she decided to start using her music to teach and
found that the kids of Los Angeles loved her songs. So she started
her own afterschool program called The Joy House which has
now also become a TV Show for kids called THE JOY HOUSE that
she produces and The Joy House Birthday Party (which is becoming
one of the hottest party ideas.......... using only her music).

Timing
is everything. It is the kids of the world, the new generation, that
will make THE JOY HOUSE what is destined to be. A global, universal
house for all children.

She is currently teaching her
program for the Los Angeles School District and The City of Santa Monica.
She is duplicating the program slowly but surely in many schools as
an after school program for all kids, where programs such as hers are
so desperately needed. See Show/School References

"TEACH A CHILD TO DREAM AND YOU HELP KEEP A CHILD OUT OF TROUBLE"

Her focus
now is to take THE JOY HOUSE to the top through The Joy House TV Show,
The Joy House Birthday Party, Afterschool Programs and
Joy House Dance Music. She has performed and recorded 3 Volumes
of music for THE JOY HOUSE and is currently recording the fourth.
She continues teaching in the schools and producing The Joy House
TV show.

"She
is definitely one of the hardest working women in Hollywood"

She is talented, ambitious
and driven but most of all this little "go getter" from Down Under
loves what she does. A visionary whose big picture is to combine
music, dance, the arts, theater, pop, education, entertainment
and commercial business worlds together in a positive, productive and
responsible way.

As Joy says, "If
you give joy, you get joy!"
Now you know who I am, now it's time for you to tell me about you...
